When testing lipstick or foundation at a counter, always use disposable applicators or tools to avoid direct sharing and maintain hygiene. Here’s how to ensure a safe and clean makeup testing experience.
Use Disposable Applicators
Always request disposable wands, sponges, or brushes when testing lipstick or foundation. Many counters provide these, but if not, bring your own. This prevents cross-contamination and keeps the products clean for others.
Avoid Direct Skin Contact
Never apply testers directly to your lips or face. Instead, test foundation on your wrist or jawline using a disposable sponge. For lipstick, swipe it on the back of your hand or use a disposable lip brush.
Sanitise Before Testing
If the counter offers alcohol or sanitiser, use it to clean the tester’s surface before applying it to your skin. This reduces the risk of transferring bacteria.
Check Product Freshness
Look for signs of contamination, such as a strange smell, texture, or colour change. If a tester appears old or unclean, avoid using it.
Bring Your Own Tools
Carry a small kit with disposable applicators, cotton pads, and hand sanitiser. This ensures you’re always prepared for hygienic testing, even if the counter doesn’t provide tools.
